Why Choose the ABB MP-XR2/3-P8 Multiplug?
The ABB MP-XR2/3-P8, order code 1SEP408513R0001, is an 8-pin multiplug for current transformer (CT) connections within ABB SlimLine XR switch-disconnector fuse installations. It is specifically designed for XR2 and XR3 switch sizes, providing a dedicated plug-in interface for CT secondary wiring.
ABB specifies the MP-XR2/3-P8 with pins 1–8 for conductor sizes from 0.2–2.5 mm². The multiplug concept allows external CT wiring to be connected through a removable interface, making it easier to plug and unplug compatible SlimLine XR equipment without having to redo the external wiring each time.
As part of ABB's SlimLine XR accessory system, the MP-XR2/3-P8 is particularly useful in switchboard and power-distribution installations incorporating current transformers for electrical measurement and monitoring. Its dedicated XR2/XR3 compatibility provides a manufacturer-designed connection solution for professional SlimLine assemblies.

Convenient CT Connections for SlimLine XR2 and XR3
ABB's SlimLine XR multiplug system is designed to simplify external wiring for accessories such as current transformers, auxiliary contacts and electronic monitoring equipment. The MP-XR2/3-P8 is the dedicated P8 version for CT connections on XR2 and XR3 equipment, supporting conductors up to 2.5 mm² across pins 1–8.
The pluggable design is particularly useful where SlimLine equipment may need to be removed, serviced or replaced. Rather than repeatedly disconnecting individual external CT conductors, the compatible multiplug can be disconnected as an interface, supporting more convenient installation and maintenance of the switchgear assembly.
Typical Applications
- ABB SlimLine XR2 switch-disconnector fuse installations.
- ABB SlimLine XR3 switch-disconnector fuse installations.
- Current transformer secondary connections.
- Electrical metering systems.
- Low-voltage switchboards.
- Industrial power-distribution assemblies.
- Switchgear monitoring and measurement installations.
